As already mentioned by Mike McIntyre the VB Team at Microsoft are webcasting a range of presentations on some of the features coming up in VB9 and Visual Studio 9 (Codename Orcas).
The first one, Orcas Overview, goes out on Wednesday April 18th and is presented by VB Team Program Manager John Stallo. If, like me, you expect to be sleeping peacefully (or at least coding in your sleep) at 9AM PST, you'll be pleased to know that the recording will be available for download and viewing at your leisure from 5PM PST that day.
